"Mine For A Lifetime"
Listen to the demo HERE
I carried a heart without hope
Love was just mirrors and smoke
When all of the right ones turned out wrong
Wondering where i belong
It’s easier to just give up
It’s funny just when I let go
That's when you looked at me
A moment changes everything
CHORUS
One look, one touch
Like love falling from the sky
You and I, your eyes tell me that you’re mine for a lifetime
One kiss, that’s it
That’s all it took to change my mind, just in time
Baby I can’t believe you're mine for a lifetime
I just didn’t see all the signs
That you’ve been out there all this time
Every choice we ever made
Led one step closer to today
Pointing us the right way home
I can’t remember life before
It’s all in front of me
Forever changes everything
CHORUS
It’s like a dream with no beginning and no end in sight
A lifetime won’t be long enough when it’s this right
CHORUS

His wife called me and said they were working on a song (literally at that moment) and asked if I wanted to come over and join them. Luckily, I wasn't in the middle of anything, and I went over and wrote with both of them for the first time. Ryan & Doc already had the concept started, so I jumped in on some melody ideas for the chorus, which we decided to roll with. This song jumpstarted a great performance relationship as well, as Doc, Ryan & I have performed together as a band on several occasions, which is ridiculously fun. With Ryan on guitars, banjo, mandolin & vocals, Doc on guitar & vocals, me on leads & background vocals, and our friend Tom on percussion, we have had some great times on stage together. The video above is from a solo performance of Ryan performing the song, and there is a recording of me on lead vocals on the MUSIC page.
